A combination of existentialism, absurdism, mythology, and even office comedy, The Sysphi explores what it means to carry on in a world defined by its meaninglessness. The visuals are striking and the ending image is resonantly powerful. I would love to see this play performed!

An exciting and thoughtful exploration of the porn industry. A thrilling read!

A powerful and empowering script. The language is delicious and melodic; the characters are full and complex. A is for Apron is a magnificent journey into purgatory and nuanced exploration and subversion of gender and racial stereotypes. A must read!

A piercing, moving play about the pain of going unnoticed and the lengths we will go to for recognition. Stupid Ghost is witty, tender, and very human--not to mention really funny. A great ride for actors and audience alike!

A hilarious, poignant portrayal of two couples: one human, the other hamster. It's charming and witty, with emotional depth. Breeders is sure to be a wonderful night of theater!

A quirky yet realistic portrait of the dissolution of a relationship. Plastic Nest explores how our desire to preserve our pasts can affect our future. A fun, relatable, and soulful play that would be a joy to watch onstage!

The imagery sticks with you long after you read the play. The language is delicious and poetic. Watching these characters navigate their grief in a world that is simultaneously full of life and on the brink of destruction creates a transformative, moving theatrical experience.

A truly heartbreaking rendering of what it's like to lose people you love. It highlights the humor and absurdity of recognizing you have no control over death, while also providing comfort in the knowledge that the power of human connection is worth all of the pain that we feel when we lose it. Bring tissues.

Space Girl is the kind of play where the lines stick with you long after you first read it (e.g. "Trigger Warning: Blackholes"). The script is funny and clever. More than that though, it's a meditation on what it's like to be an outsider, what we're doing to our planet, and what's worth saving. Arugula and Nancy may be aliens, but they also exhibit the best parts of being human: they love, they're curious, and they long to be a part of a community. Space Girl is wonderful on the page, and I can't wait to see it onstage!

A hysterical and thoughtful look into how people try to connect in an oftentimes unfair and absurd world. The dialogue in this play is witty and charming, and I loved how the play the builds to the moments of silence, pure movement, and ultimately, cohesion. It's a love story, without being about romantic love. I would love to see this play staged.
